Tell us about your space
No finished brief or big budget needed. Share a little about your school, your grounds and what you have in mind.
What happens next
We’ll talk through your pupils, your grounds and your budget, then visit to look at the space together.

Prefer to talk?
Ashley is happy to chat by phone or WhatsApp — often the quickest way to get started.
Preparing for governors or SLT?
If you need to take a proposal to your governors or senior leadership team, Ashley can outline practical options and budget guidance for your grounds to help that conversation.
Crafted with purpose
I’ve always loved working with wood. My background in interior design shapes how I think about space, detail and the way people will use it.
I started NOOK after lockdown, making outdoor woodwork from my home workshop. Today, I’m focusing on bespoke outdoor learning spaces for schools. I care about making each one with skill, quality materials and a clear purpose. The best part is knowing pupils will use and enjoy it every day.

Every space starts with a conversation
Your pupils, your grounds and what you have in mind. We’ll talk through your priorities and budget, then look at the space together.
From those conversations, a bespoke design takes shape — made around how your school will use it, with care for materials, detail and everyday learning.
